THE IUPAP YOUNG SCIENTIST PRIZE IN
PLASMA
PHYSICS 2008
The International Union of
Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) has created the
IUPAP Young Scientist
Prize in Plasma Physics aimed at recognizing outstanding
achievements of
scientists at early stages of their career in the field of
Plasma
Physics. The award is yearly bestowed
on the occasion of one of the IUPAP
sponsored conferences: International
Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases
(ICPIG) and International
Congress on Plasma Physics (ICPP). At each of these
conferences, work is
honoured in the field of plasma research that is typically for
that
conference. The prize consists of $ 1000 and a medal. In addition,
the
conference fee is waived for the prizewinner.
The 2008 award will
be linked to the 14th ICPP to be held in Fukuoka, Japan, from
September
8-12 2008 (http://www.triam.kyushu-u.ac.jp/ICPP/), and the recipient
should at most have 8 years of post
PhD research on September 1, 2008. He/she
should have performed original
work of outstanding scientific quality in the area of
the PHYSICS OF
HIGH TEMPERATURE PLASMAS.
Nominations for the 2008 prize
should reach the chair of IUPAP Commission
16 before April 15, 2008.
The nomination can be made by anyone who is not a
member of the selection
committee. It should include:
- A letter of not more than 1,000 words
evaluating the nominee's qualifications and
identifying the specific work

- A list of the most
important publications and up to five reprints or preprints.
The
selection committee consists of the members of IUPAP commission
16,
supplemented by the chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of the
Programme
Committees of ICPP 2006 and ICPP 2008.
Chair of IUPAP C-16:
